2024 Valspar Championship Odds & Favorites: Schauffele Tops Board Following The Players
The PGA Tour remains in Florida and shifts from TPC Sawgrass to Copperhead in Palm Harbor as we break down the best Valspar Championship odds with Xander Schauffele as the betting favorite across our best golf betting sites.
One-hundred and fifty-six golfers breathe a shared sigh of relief this week as Scottie Scheffler is not in the Valspar Championship field. Scheffler cemented his status as the No. 1 player in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) with back-to-back wins in Florida, including a come-from-behind victory in last week's Players Championship.
We may not see Scheffler tee it up again until 2024's first major, as he's already a prohibitive betting favorite by the Masters odds.
So, we're left with a still-strong field fronted by betting favorite Xander Schauffele and two-time tournament winner Sam Burns. Taylor Moore is also back to try to defend his 2023 win in this event.
Here's our look at the Valspar Championship odds to help with your golf picks this week.

Valspar Championship favorite
Schauffele finished T-2 in The Players Championship after holding the 54-hole lead. He fired a 7-under 65 in two of his four rounds for the week but even that wasn't enough to fend off Scheffler's Sunday charge.
The 30-year-old American is a six-time (solo) PGA Tour winner but this was yet another example of him not being able to close out a marquee event. While the field is considerably weaker this week, there are still a handful of top contenders, and many have the benefit of resting over the weekend following a missed cut in The Players while Schauffele must combat the mental grind of last week, and the heartache of his loss.
Schauffele draws a pass for me at these odds, and I'm not sure there's a price point that would interest me following last week.

How to bet on golf
Betting on golf involves understanding the various types of bets available and how to assess player performance. First, familiarize yourself with the different types of bets commonly offered in golf, including outright winner bets, each-way bets (which cover both a win and a top finish), head-to-head matchups between two players, and proposition bets on specific events within a tournament, such as hole-in-one occurrences or individual player performances on certain holes.
Once you've identified the types of bets you're interested in, research the players, course conditions, recent form, and other relevant factors that could influence outcomes. Pay attention to factors like player statistics, recent tournament performances, course history, and any injuries or changes in form that may affect a player's performance.
